Location

In the car park of a company called Proserv based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK.

Participants

Plans

Looking at the hashpoints for Wednesday this looks really easy and only a mile or two from my work place. It's in a car park on an industrial estate so "getting lost" will be the excuse for driving there.

Expedition

Gates locked. Re try later. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.5893,1.7055 07:45, 17 April 2013 (GMT+01:00)

At 07:45, it was still too early in the morning and the gates were locked. The hashpoint was only 20 metres away behind a tall fence and the gate.

Arrived. -- Sourcerer (talk) @52.5891,1.7054 16:16, 17 April 2013 (GMT+01:00)

In the afternoon, the gates were open and it was possible to drive right to the hashpoint where a new photo was taken and a message sent to the Wiki.

Although it took two attempts, this was a really easy expedition and I got to see a new part of industrial Britain's oil and gas industries.
